Add a Little MAGIC to Your Twin Cities Holiday Party! 🎩✨

The holiday party season is coming to the Twin Cities—and if you’re planning a company party, client appreciation event, private gathering, family celebration, or holiday banquet, there is an easy way to make your event a little more memorable:

Add MAGIC!

The Minneapolis–Saint Paul area is home to an incredible community of professional magicians, mentalists, illusionists, and magical entertainers who can bring something completely different to your holiday celebration.

Instead of simply having dinner, drinks and background music, imagine your guests experiencing impossible things happening right in their own hands.

A playing card appears.

Someone’s thought is revealed.

A borrowed ring disappears and reappears somewhere impossible.

A prediction turns out to be exactly right.

And suddenly, strangers around the room have something to talk about.

That’s the power of live magic.

Magic Is Perfect for Holiday Parties

One of the great things about magic is that it can fit into almost any kind of holiday event.

A professional magician can circulate through the room during a cocktail reception, entertaining small groups without requiring a stage or interrupting dinner.

Or you can make magic the featured entertainment with a comedy magic, mentalism or illusion show following dinner.

Some entertainers can even combine the two approaches—strolling magic during the reception followed by a featured performance.

For corporate holiday parties, this can be particularly effective because magic creates an instant conversation starter. People who may not know each other suddenly have something amazing to share.

What Kind of Magic Should You Add?

Before hiring a magician, think about the atmosphere you want to create.

🎩 Strolling Magic

Perfect for cocktail hours, receptions and parties where people are moving around.

The magician goes from group to group performing short, interactive miracles.

There is no stage required.

🪄 Close-Up Magic

This is magic that happens right under your guests’ noses—or sometimes right in their hands.

Cards, coins, borrowed objects, mind reading and other intimate effects can make a small group feel like they’ve just experienced their own private magic show.

🎭 A Featured Magic Show

Want everyone sitting down and watching together?

A stage or parlor-style magic show can provide a centerpiece for the evening, particularly after dinner or before dessert.

🧠 Mentalism & Mind Reading

For an adult or corporate audience, mentalism can add an entirely different flavor to the evening.

Rather than simply asking, “How did he do that?”

Your guests may find themselves wondering:

“How did he know what I was thinking?”

Don’t Wait Until December

One thing to remember about holiday entertainment:

The good dates can disappear quickly.

December is an especially busy month for corporate parties, company celebrations and private holiday gatherings. Some entertainers begin booking their holiday calendars months in advance.

So if you’re planning a Twin Cities holiday party, start looking for your entertainment sooner rather than later.

And Yes… MagicBrad Is Available!

And then there’s MagicBrad! 🎩

That’s me—Brad “MagicBrad” Gudim.

I enjoy bringing magic, conversation, fun and a little bit of the unexpected to events and gatherings.

I am available for select private and corporate events, although I have a particular preference for events north of I-394, closer to Fridley, where I live.

That includes communities throughout the northern Twin Cities metro and the surrounding North Metro.

For me, it’s not just about performing tricks.

It’s about making MAGIC happen.

Make Your Holiday Party More Magical

Food gets eaten.

Decorations eventually come down.

The music stops.

But an impossible experience?

People remember that.

If you’re planning a holiday party in Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Fridley, the North Metro or anywhere around the Twin Cities, consider adding a professional magician to your entertainment lineup.

You don’t have to turn your party into a magic convention.

Sometimes all it takes is one magician walking through the room, making something impossible happen for a few people at a time.

And suddenly…

Your holiday party has a little more MAGIC. 🎩✨
